    So after waiting for my Vista upgrade to arrive... I doubt it ever will... I've decided to give Ubuntu another try. Currently, I've got 7.04 beta 64 bit installed. How do I get bluetooth to work? I'm trying to use my mouse but have no idea how to do so. All I've been able to find from Googling is:

    hci_usb

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks... but I had already read that whole thread. I'm fairly new to Linux and don't know much. I looked under System>Preferences and System>Administration and can't seem to find anything to do with Bluetooth. Is there some kind of application or command I'm supposed to use? Thanks in advance.

    thanks for posting the eventual outcome... it sucks if you never find out whether something got fixed or not when searching out a similar problem.

    Any help is always appreciated. I'm taking it step by step with Linux... still very new to me. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the sound to work.
